Under the hot Arizona sun, the two bitter enemies circled each other like battling scorpions, stingers at the ready. Jabbed Representative John Conlan: "We are both conservatives, but our style is different. He uses a meat ax and I use a scalpel." Riposted Representative Sam Steiger: "John thinks of himself as a scalpel. I prefer to think of him as a Roto-Rooter." So it went in perhaps the year's most vicious political contest, the fight for the Arizona Republican nomination to succeed retiring G.O.P. Senator Paul Fannin. Last week that contest ended when Steiger, by a margin...
...history follows trade. The popularity of art nouveau, revived in the '60s, has provoked an enormous curiosity about the style. What was the taste of 1900? Where did it originate? Was it, after all, as effete as we were told? No exhibition, now or in the near future, is likely to satisfy that curiosity better than "Art Nouveau: Belgium/France," which opened last week at the Art Institute of Chicago. Organized by both the Art Institute and the Institute for the Arts at Houston's Rice University (where it was shown last spring), it is a collective effort...
...rode, Liane de Pougy and their thespian sisters-the "great horizontals." But they were also votive objets de culte, focuses of sexual snobbery. In a like way, the most rarefied work of the art nouveau craftsmen was not accessible to a wide public. As the style spread through the decorative arts-furniture making, inlay, bookbinding, jewelry, glass-too much labor and fine material were devoured by it. It was, in very essence, elitist: the stylish style. But as Brunhammer rightly exclaims in the catalogue, "Thanks be for the snobisme that broke through the barriers between the arts and gave...
...Defensive Tackles Joe Ehrmann and Mike Barnes and Ends John Dutton and Fred Cook have played together long enough-two years-to know one another's instincts thoroughly. The result is the kind of fluid, unified play that opposing linemen find hard to break up. The same cohesive style marks the linebackers and secondary...
Noiret also shows up in MY FRIENDS, a film begun by the witty, raucous Pietro Germi (Divorce-Italian Style), who collaborated on the script but died after hardly a week of filming in 1974, at the age of 60. Mario Monicelli (Big Deal on Madonna Street) completed the movie, which, unfortunately, does little credit to anyone. My Friends concerns the infrequently amusing forays of a group of five stalwarts (Noiret, Ugo Tognazzi, Gastone Moshin, Duilio Del Prete, Adolfo Celi) who break out of their conventional, half-failing lives to have a little fun. This usually involves playing practical jokes-such...
